Engine, Performance, and Transmission

The Crosstrek has three powertrain options. The base and Premium trims come in a four-cylinder 2.0-liter boxer engine that generates 152 horsepower and about 145 pound-feet of torque. The powertrain sticks to the standard manual six-speed transmission with an optional automatic CVT. The 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder engine is standard with the Sport and Limited trims. It can produce 182 horsepower and generate 172 pound-feet of torque. The powertrain pairs with Subaru's Lineartornic automatic transmission. The 2.5-liter powertrain is more powerful, with added X-mode to tackle challenging terrain. Lastly, the new plug-in Hybrid trim combines the 2.0-liter Subaru Boxer engine with a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor. The Hybrid powertrain produces 148 combined horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque.

The Crosstrek models available in Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) come with the X-mode feature. Sport trim models have the double-function X-mode feature, which is even better suited for tackling tough terrain. It also includes descent control and SI-drive, which changes from default to sport mode (and vice-versa) when driving on steep trails. The CVT includes shifting paddles with eight gear ratios.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The EPA rating on the real-world test ranks Subaru Crosstrek as the most fuel-efficient subcompact SUV. The EPA rates a CVT 2.0-liter engine at 28 MPG city, 33 MPG highway, and 30 MPG combined. The six-speed manual transmission rates at 22 MPG city, 29 MPG highway, and 25 MPG combined. The optional 2.5-liter version is estimated to rate at 27 MPG city and 34 MPG highway (ideal for commuting around Port Orchard and the Kitsap Peninsula). The new Hybrid trim level achieves 90 MPGe with a fully-charged battery in electric mode, and 35 MPG combined in regular hybrid mode.

Suspension and Exterior Design

The Crosstrek is designed to turn heads wherever you drive. The front fascia includes a stylish grille and impressive headlights. Wheel options include 17-inch alloy wheels and available 18-inch dark grey finish wheels. Color options include plasma yellow and horizon blue pearl. The suspension is 8.7 inches off the ground, giving you plenty of clearance while off-roading.

The Crosstrek cabin feels roomy and luxurious, thanks to high-end accents and faux carbon-fiber trim. An available eight-inch touchscreen gives you easy control over vehicle settings, while standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it easy to connect your smartphone. The rear 60/40 folding seats can free up to 55.3 cubic feet of cargo volume.
